Lyrics

Everyone I know is getting married this summer
Living together is no longer enough I guess
A blushing thirty-year-old bride registers her china pattern
And goes shopping for that long white dress
Maybe she's becoming aware of her own mortality
The thought of having children doesn't seem so wrong
Maybe he's grown tired of looking for that perfect woman
When the perfect woman's been there all along
I've seen them walking down the aisle
The groom nervous, the bride all smiles
Both feel a little foolish after all these years
They think they know each other well
But looking in their eyes no one could tell
They're trying hard to cover up those age old fears
And I've stood there with the single
Women when the bride throws the bouquet
Never really wanting it, I reach out anyway
Like I've been reaching, I've been searching for something I can hold
Still young enough to think there's lots of
Time before I am too old for all of this
And I've danced with the best man and all the relatives
The music sounds so tinny as I glide across the room
It feels strange to dance at weddings
Of those who swore they'd never marry
And those off now on their honeymoon
Everyone I know is getting married this summer
Living together just isn't enough I guess
Blushing thirty-year-old brides register their silver
And go shopping for that long white dress
